Chapter 135: SingMeToSleep
Seeing Xiao Yao, who was wearing a hat and masked, standing in front of the DJ booth, Gong Chen took a small step forward and raised the microphone in his hand to his chest, and the audience knew that this was the beginning of the performance, so they slowly quieted down.

This is different from when "faded" was performed on the electronic music program, which also featured four violinists and a cellist, and a piano was also set up. In tonight's song performance, there are only two people on the entire stage: Gong Chen in front and Xiao Yao in the back. Although there is also a version of "SingMeToSleep" in the previous life with violin accompaniment, Xiao Yao also plans to make a string version of this song like "faded", but for the debut of this New Year's Eve party, Xiao Yao is a pure electronic music version prepared.
Xiao Yao saw that the scene was quiet, and he reached out and began to operate on the MIDI keyboard in front of him. There is another difference between tonight's new song and "faded", that is, the prelude of this song is so short that it almost feels like there is no prelude, and as the music sounds, Gong Chen almost immediately starts singing.
“WaitASecondLetMeCatchMyBreath,RemindMeHowItFeelsToHearYourVoice...”
In the opening part, Gong Chen's voice was still slightly sad. There were many people in the audience who had heard "faded", so as soon as Gong Chen spoke, some viewers felt a sense of déjà vu. At this time, the audience was still relatively quiet, and they were all feeling Gong Chen's ethereal voice with their hearts.
“YourLipsAreMovingICan'tHearAThing,LivingLifeAsIfWeHadAChoice...”
Like "faded", the beginning of this song is also four sentences, and there is also only a relatively single piano accompaniment, but this time there is no piano on the scene, and the sound is played by Xiao Yao through the MIDI keyboard to simulate the timbre of the piano. From the fifth sentence, Xiao Yao stretched out a hand and began to operate the pad in front of him, and also began to add electronic melodies to the accompaniment.
“Anywhere,Anytime,IWouldDoAnythingForYou,AnythingForYou...”
“Yesterday,GotAway,MelodiesStuckInsideYourHead,ASongInEveryBreath...”
But this song is not the same song as the previous "faded" after all, except for the different lyrics and melody, the mood of the whole song is not the same. The whole song of "faded" expresses a state of confusion and searching, but this song starts from the fifth sentence with the accompaniment of the electronic melody, Gong Chen's lyrics and her expression are more determined and powerful, which also makes this song begin to lift the spirits of the audience.
“SingMeToSleepNow,SingMeToSleep,Won'tYouSingMeToSleepNow? SingMeToSleep...”
After all, this is the stage of the New Year's Eve party, not the scene of a pure music competition program, so when singing the chorus, Gong Chen is no longer just standing quietly on the stage and singing, but walking around the stage and beginning to interact with the audience. As she slowly approached the audience and made interactive movements such as waving, the audience, who had slowly begun to get excited with the melody and rhythm of the song, were no longer quiet and began to wave to Gong Chen on the stage.
After the chorus part was sung, Gong Chen, who just walked back to the middle of the stage, put down his right hand holding the microphone with a relatively large movement, and at the same time turned around lightly, bent down and lowered his head, and waved his left arm downward. At this time, the accompaniment coincides with her movements to a very fast-paced electronic drum beat. As she finished this action and jumped to the ground, a particularly heavy drum beat happened to sound in the accompaniment, and a row of fireworks happened to explode on the edge of the live stage, and a large image of fireworks exploded on the big screen of the scene, and the lights on the scene suddenly became brighter. Several movable white spotlights light up and begin to swing irregularly.
At this time, the song enters the interlude part. The music in this interlude is more intense, and it also has the usual electronic dance music melodies and rhythms. The audience at the scene finally joined in. Everyone began to raise their arms and wave them, and every now and then there was a scream or two.
In the interlude part of the song, not only did the rhythm of the music and the stage effect change, but even Gong Chen on the stage began to swing his body to the music and made some simple dance moves. It seemed that in order to cooperate with Gong Chen's dance, after the fireworks were scattered, several dry ice machines on the edge of the stage spewed out a burst of white smoke. However, unlike Gong Chen's last song, when he sprayed smoke onto the stage floor to create a "fairy" environment, this time several puffs of white smoke were sprayed straight into the air above, in order to once again drive the atmosphere of the scene.
Sure enough, with the spray of a few strands of dry ice this time, the screams of the audience immediately became much louder.
“RememberMeNoTimeCannotErase,ICanHearYourWhispersInMyMind,I'veBecomeWhatYouCannotEmbrace,OurMemoryWillBeMyLullaby...”
After the interlude ended, after Gong Chen began to sing the title song of the second paragraph, the audience gradually stopped cheering and screaming, but did not put down their raised hands, but followed Gong Chen's singing and began to wave back and forth rhythmically, beating with the music.
“SingMeToSleepNow,SingMeToSleep,Won'tYouSingMeToSleepNow? SingMeToSleep...”
Although this song is an English song, the lyrics are relatively simple, especially the chorus, there is almost only one lyrics, so when Gong Chen sang the chorus for the second time, some viewers couldn't help but sing along with her.
When the song entered the interlude again, without Gong Chen's deliberate jumping and waving action, a row of fireworks still exploded again on the scene, and the white spotlights lit up again and shook irregularly. On the stage, Gong Chen's dance movements were bigger than in the first interlude, and he even pulled down the hood on his head, and shook her beautiful long black hair while pointing at the audience with his finger.
Driven by Gong Chen, this time the audience was also more excited and happy than the previous interlude, many people stood up from their seats and began to twist their bodies up and down with Gong Chen, and the screams and cheers were also higher and higher.
The dry ice machine next to the stage sprayed white smoke again, pushing the screams of the audience up again, and the interlude of the second section ended. However, at this time, Gong Chen did not raise the microphone to his mouth to continue singing, but continued to jump smartly on the stage to guide the atmosphere of the scene.
“A-anytime,IWouldDo-DoDoDoDo... TimeAway,Yesterday-DayDayDay...”
The accompaniment music also did not return to the melody of the main song or the transition melody before the chorus again, but Xiao Yao operated the electronic music equipment and repeated a pre-recorded Gong Chen's singing voice like a scratch disc, so as to make an end to the whole song.
As the last note fell, Gong Chen also walked to the middle of the stage facing the audience, bowed to the audience, and signaled the end of the performance of the whole song.
With Gong Chen's action, the audience at the scene also broke out into a burst of warm applause, cheers and screams again.
Although it is only a song of just three minutes, the whole performance process of this song can be said to be very exciting. From the music, singing to the stage lighting, the audience has a feeling of being in the scene of European and American electronic music festivals, and they feel particularly accented and high-spirited.
In the applause and cheers of the audience, Xiao Yao, who ended the song, also walked out from behind the DJ console, walked to the front of the stage, bowed slightly to the audience, and stood side by side with Gong Chen. Seeing Xiao Yao walking to the front of the stage, the cheers and screams of the audience at the scene immediately became much louder.
"Thank you very much YS and Gong Chen for the wonderful performance. At this time, Lehi also walked onto the stage from one side of the stage, stood beside the two of them, and said to the two of them, "Although this song of yours is called "SingMeToSleep", judging from your performance at the scene just now, I am afraid that no one can fall asleep listening to this song of yours." Everyone said yes?" the last sentence Lehi said as he turned to face the audience.
"Yes!" shouted excitedly from many spectators.
"Thank you!" Gong Chen said to the audience with a smile, "This is the first public appearance of this song, and the live version is presented to everyone." This song will be released together with "faded" as a single, so please support it when the time comes. ”
"Buy!" immediately shouted from the audience.
"Are you using our New Year's Eve party to advertise in public?" said Lehi with a little surprise.
In the previous rehearsals, there was no such one. Xiao Yao and Gong Chen also did not mention to the program team that they were going to release a single.
"Can't you?" Gong Chen winked playfully and looked at Li Haidao with a smile.
"Uh... Of course. "Actually, it's just a matter of one sentence, and this is still a live broadcast, of course Lehi can't say no in public.
"That's fine. Gong Chen said with a smile, turned to the audience and said, "Thank you all again, I wish you all a happy new year!"
As he spoke, Gong Chen directly stuffed the microphone in his hand into Li Hai's hand, waved his hand to the audience, and then exited the stage from the stage passage at the back.
"Hey... This is leaving?" Lehi looked at the two microphones in his hand, speechless for a while.
Looking at Lehi's appearance, countless people in the audience burst out laughing.
"Gong Chen just left, so personal!"
"She was singing and dancing just now, as if she had changed after putting on black clothes. What about the goddess fan?"
"What kind of trouble are Li Hai going to make with one person and two microphones? Hand one to Xiao Yao next to him. ”
"At Shonan Satellite TV's New Year's Eve party last year, Xiao Yao was in charge of the funny part, why is he so cool this year? ”
At the same time, there was a burst of discussion in the audience.
